6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. our headlines. a promise of change despite the disruption from the prime minister as she prepares to close a turbulant conservative party conference. ukrainian forces are making rapid advances in the south of the country, according to president zelensky. a call for urgent changes to rugby, as new research suggests top players face a greater risk of developing long term brain conditions. wholesale petrol and diesel prices plummet, but that's not being passed on fully to drivers.
6:01 am
the rac says major retailers, including the supermarkets, are not cutting prices enough and accuses them of pocketing extra profits. trent alexander—arnold's free kick helped see off rangers in the champions league against liverpool. # diamonds are forever, forever, forever #. double oh heaven! dame shirley basseyjoins a string of stars celebrating 60 years of james bond themes. i'll start to the day across england and wales. cool in scotland and northern ireland. rain clearing leaving blustery heavy showers behind. all the details later in the programme. it's wednesday, the 5th of october. our main story. the prime minister will attempt to get her own party on side today as she makes her keynote speech
6:02 am
at the conservative conference. liz truss is expected to insist that her economic plans will be worth what she'll call the disruption they cause. the event in birmingham has seen a dramatic u—turn, policy changes and threatened rebellions, as our political correspondent ione wells reports. how's it going? very well. - the chancellor laughs. but it couldn't be further from the truth. the hard hats on a visit here in birmingham couldn't shield the prime minister and chancellor from a bruising few days at their party conference. conservatives arrived here with the markets in turmoil at the government's plans to borrow to fund £16 billion in tax cuts. they leave facing political upset, too. first, unhappy tory mps forced ministers to perform a u—turn over their plans to cut the top rate of tax for the highest earners. the home secretary, suella braverman, accused her colleagues of staging a coup.
6:03 am
i'm very disappointed that members of our own parliamentary party staged a coup, effectively, and undermined the authority of the prime minister in an unprofessional way. good morning, mr gove. the latest row brewing among tory mps is whether to raise benefits in line with rising prices rather than in line with rising wages, which would be much lower. some mps argue they should — to help the most vulnerable. the money you give into this area to deal with the worst off will go straight back into the economy. so that will help growth, ironically. at the time when we need growth rather than recession, that will be helpful. the cabinet minister, penny mordaunt, also said they should. the prime minister told the bbc�*s political editor chris mason that no decision had been made. all of these things depend on the specific circumstances. but what i sought to do when i got into office is deal with the big challenges that we face as a country. people were facing energy
6:04 am
bills of up to £6,000. so it's about making the right decisions at the right time. liz truss plans to use her set piece speech today to explain why the disruption caused by her economic policies will be worth it. she'll argue everyone will benefit from economic growth she thinks her tax cuts will bring. her challenge today is to take the members and mps in the room with her. the party may have physically come together over the last few days, but the splits within it have rarely been laid so bare. ione wells, bbc news, birmingham. 0ur chief political correspondent nick eardley is at the conference in birmingham. nick, what sort of reception can the prime minister expect today? it isa it is a good question. it has been a baptism of fire for liz truss in the topjob. they baptism of fire for liz truss in the top job. they should baptism of fire for liz truss in the topjob. they should have been the moment where she basically crowned
6:05 am
off her honeymoon period and came to the party members who elected her as prime minister, this is our plan, i am going to stick by it, and get the country back on track. instead of that, the past three days, we have covered turmoil in the conservative party as it tears itself apart over tax policy, over benefits, over the prime minister's direction. i think what you will get from liz truss todayis what you will get from liz truss today is a defence of what she is trying to do, and economy heavy speech where she's says there is more disruption coming but ultimately i think it is worth it to grow the economy. the problem she has is it is not hard to find people here who think she is wrong and she has the wrong strategy. yes, talking about growing the economy is a good thing, and the way she has gone about it is deeply damaging. when liz truss gets up on the stage
6:06 am
around iiam, she will try to reassert her authority and she will try to persuade us all of her vision for economic growth. the last few days, if they have told us anything, is some of the rhetoric and plans are harder to sell then she might have thought. are harder to sell then she might have thought-— are harder to sell then she might have thou:ht. . ~' ,, . , , . have thought. thank you. that speech is at 11 o'clock — have thought. thank you. that speech is at 11 o'clock and _ have thought. thank you. that speech is at 11 o'clock and full— have thought. thank you. that speech is at 11 o'clock and full coverage - is at 11 o'clock and full coverage on bbc television and radio. officials in somalia say the country needs help within weeks, or even days, to avert a full—scale catastrophe caused by the worst drought in a0 years. the disaster is already killing young children in growing numbers, as thousands of families walk for days in search of food and work. 0ur africa correspondent andrew harding has sent this report from baidoa — a city at the heart of the crisis. baby cries. in a crowded hospital in baidoa, two—year—old mohammed clings to life, weak with hunger.
6:07 am
"this is the worst drought we've ever been through," says his mother. "i worry for all my children." another child is brought in with swollen limbs — a sign of severe malnutrition. two of his sisters have died in the past fortnight. and, already in this unfolding catastrophe, the hospital is struggling to cope. sometimes, we lack the supplies. you lack supplies? that must be incredibly frustrating. sure, sure. when it happens, it's actually terrifying, because people are dying and you cannot support them. 0n the dusty plains around the city, more families arrive each hour and set up camp, bringing little with them but stories of dead cattle, dead crops and a rural way of life that a changing climate will no longer tolerate. 0fficially, no famine has been declared yet here in somalia.
6:08 am
but today, right now, 300,000 people are living in famine conditions, with another two million on the brink of famine. so it's hard to imagine a situation more desperate, more urgent, more compelling. there is help arriving here in baidoa, and plans for much more. but it's too slow. the things we are doing now we needed to do three months ago. so, in reality, we are behind. i think something catastrophic will happen in this area. catastrophic — you mean famine spreading? famine spreading. but drought is not the only challenge. somalia is at war. a long fight against an islamist insurgency is limiting access to many vulnerable communities. fatuma 0mar managed to escape from the conflict, but her ten—year—old son died of hunger soon after reaching baidoa. he's buried here beside
6:09 am
the family's makeshift camp. "i cannot grieve for my son, there's no time," she says. "i need to find work and food to keep my other children alive." listening to her is her 11—year—old son. the mention of his brother is too much for him. 0ne family among millions now wrestling with drought, war and our climate emergency. andrew harding, bbc news, baidoa, somalia. president zelensky says ukrainian forces are making rapid and powerful advances in the south and east of the country, following successful attempts to disrupt russian supply lines. he said dozens of settlements have been liberated this week, including a string of villages near kherson. 0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. it seems to be moving quickly?
6:10 am
yes, good morning. we are seeing a significant change on the front lines in the south. the russians have been forced to abandon some key positions as the ukrainian army advances. in the region of kherson along the dnipro river which is a natural barrier in that part of the country. it seems that the russians are trying to avoid being encircled by the ukrainian army. we are getting reports from russian sources suggesting a difficult situation for those russian forces in that part of the kherson region so it is likely the kherson region so it is likely the ukrainians will continue to make gains and reclaim territory in that part. the big target here is the city of kherson because this is one of the largest ukrainian cities in russian hands. it is the only regional capital under russian occupation. they moved in at the beginning of the war and they faced
6:11 am
a little resistance. we expect to see some intense fighting in the battle for the city when the ukrainians managed to get to the outskirts of the city. this is what is happening in the south. in the east, ukrainians are making gains after advances over the weekend in the region of donetsk. we are starting to see pictures and footage from villages that have been liberated not only in the ease but the south. villagers have been completely devastated by the war and we are getting a sense of the human cost of what has happened to dozens of towns and villages now liberated. thank you. a 14—year—old boy is being held on suspicion of murder after another teenage boy was stabbed to death in gateshead. it happened at around eight o'clock on monday evening. a 13—year—old girl has also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender. rail services across the uk will be
6:12 am
severely disrupted today as around 9,000 train drivers in the aslef union go on strike. the 24—hour walk—out means there will be no trains on lines run by firms including northern, avanti west coast and southeastern. other operators are running limited services, which will be very busy. the world's richest man, the tech billionaire elon musk, has apparently changed his mind about buying twitter, again. in a letter, mr musk has agreed to pay the price he offered months ago for the social media platform before trying to quit the deal. it comes just weeks before the two sides were due in court. north america technology reporter james clayton, has more. the world's richest man usually gets his way. but, in this case, it appears his hands have been tied. for months, he said, he didn't want to buy twitter, even accusing the company of fraud. then, a bombshell revelation — he would now honour
6:13 am
the original agreement. in a series of tweets, he said he wanted to use twitter�*s platform to create an app for everything. he said that purchasing the company would speed up the project by three to five years. for twitter, though, well, it's had its fingers burnt before. elon musk has been an erratic negotiator. in a statement, they said it was their intention to push through the deal at the agreed price. no celebration, then — a notably muted response. there are still worries at twitter hq that this could be a delaying tactic from mr musk�*s legal team. however, another volte—face from mr musk would be hugely reputationally damaging to the tesla ceo. it does now appear likely, if not inevitable, that twitter will be run by the eccentric billionaire. that means less moderation and perhaps more fake news and hate speech on the platform. and, if you believe elon musk�*s hype, eventually, an app that does a lot more than just tweets.
6:14 am
that was james clayton reporting. global petrol prices are falling, but are we seeing the full reduction when we fill up at the pumps? the rac says no. ben can tell us more. good morning. we saw petrol prices and diesel prices shoot up and it cost at one point an average of £100 to fill the family car, a 55 litre tank. a couple of reasons. the russian invasion of ukraine and a surge in demand after the pandemic when things opened up again and people were moving around. global wholesale fuel prices have since come down gradually, but the rac said it is not entirely passed onto drivers at the pump. the average petrol price dropped by 7p in september tojust under 160 3p a litre which is lower
6:15 am
thanit under 160 3p a litre which is lower than it was in the summer. injuly, averaging 100 and 90p per litre. the rac said drivers should have seen a further 10p off a litre in september which would take the average to about 152 p. it is to do with profit margins. normally, retailers would make around 7p in profit on every litre sold. the rac said in september profit margins went up to 17p for every litre and they say thatis 17p for every litre and they say that is unfair. that is because the average wholesale price has dropped to 100 and 20p a litre. when you take into account tax, transport costs, the rac said retailers are pocketing the extra cash rather than passing it onto drivers. diesel prices are dropping not as quickly. the average price of a litre fell by 3.5 p, down to 100 p. the petrol
6:16 am
retailers association said with sharp changes they have grappled with over the past year, costs have gone up. they face higher energy bills until the price cap kicked in. it means they have had to increase profit margins to stay in business. but with the ongoing cost of living pressure, i am sure many drivers will be keen to see more savings passed on. 50 will be keen to see more savings passed om— passed on. so many regional variations. _ passed on. so many regional variations. in _ passed on. so many regional variations. in rural— passed on. so many regional variations. in rural areas- passed on. so many regional. variations. in rural areas prices are almost where they were a few months ago. are almost where they were a few months age-— are almost where they were a few months ago-— are almost where they were a few months auo. �* . , ., months ago. and that is there other advice, months ago. and that is there other advice. they — months ago. and that is there other advice. they say _ months ago. and that is there other advice, they say shop around. - months ago. and that is there other advice, they say shop around. if- months ago. and that is there otherj advice, they say shop around. if you go past a station and the prices high, if you have enough fuel... but it can be a false economy sometimes because you drive further out of your way and you have spent the money you have saved on the extra journey. money you have saved on the extra “ourne . ., ~ money you have saved on the extra “ourne . . ~' , ., now the weather with carol.
6:17 am
good morning. it is a mile start to the day across england and wales with temperatures roughly 16—17, and locally 18. cooler in scotland and northern ireland. rain will clear and then a return to blustery showers. heavy rain across southern scotland, england and wales. some hill fog around it. that pushes into the south—east before clearing. the rain in the north clearing early doors. and then showers, some heavy infantry. it will be a windy day. temperatures, as the weather front moves to the south, the temperature today will go down. some, the highest temperatures will be this morning. 0vernight, showers fade in the south. continue in the north.
6:18 am
still a windy night. too windy for any frost or fog problems. not as mild as last night. the overnight low 8—12. into tomorrow, windy through the day. starting on a dry note for many. showers in the west. the wind driving showers to the east of the country. they could be heavy, potentially thundering. the wind strength will pick up across england and wales. temperatures tomorrow 12-19. thank you. an important story now. a study of top—level rugby players has found they face a much greater risk of developing brain conditions such as dementia, parkinson's and motor neurone disease. the work was carried out by the same glasgow university team that identified a higher risk of the same conditions among footballers and has prompted calls forfaster
6:19 am
action by all contact sports to reduce the risks to players. 0ur health correspondent dominic hughes has more. playing contact sport like rugby always comes with an element of risk. but, in recent years, there have been growing concerns over what effect repeated head impacts might have on the brain. now, a new study throws fresh light on the risks to the brain health of top—level rugby players. researchers looked at the medical records of more than 400 scottish rugby players who had represented their country. they compared them to 1200 matched members of the public. they found that rugby players faced more than twice the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, parkinson's or motor neurone disease. all sport has to question its relationship with head injuries and head impacts, and rugby is doing that. rugby is trying to figure out ways to improve the game,
6:20 am
to reduce the risk of head injuries and head impacts. i think it's a slow pace of change and i think data like this, today, suggests that the pace of change should be quicker, as quick as possible — because there are currently young men, women who are participating in a sport where we're concerned about risk down the line. a study by the same glasgow university team led to concerns about the effects that repeatedly heading a ball might have on the brains of professional footballers. now, former england rugby star steve thompson, diagnosed with early onset dementia in 2020, has made a bbc documentary that considers the impact the game has had on his health and his family. commentator: steve| thompson gets the try. you look at it and you think it's all nice medals and stuff like that. but, at the end of the day, you know, it's why i am where i am now — i'm struggling a bit. so it's a little bit...
6:21 am
a little bit emotional about it, to be honest. like, you see all this stuff and people say, "0h, was it worth it?" i say no, it wasn't, because i'd rather not be such a burden on the family. and as the evidence of a link between head impacts and illness grows, campaigners are calling for sport's ruling bodies to move faster. we need to change how we play these games to minimise repetitive hits to the head. that means changing how we practise. that means fewer drills that involve head impacts. that means changing the rules when we identify rules that can be changed that would minimise the number of hits to the head. and that also means, at the pro level, we're no longer playing 11 months a year with your league years then your international tours. that's where we're learning from people like steve thompson that that's too many hits to the head and can destroy your mental wellbeing by your 40s. and nobody is going to step forward to keep playing this game once we realise how widespread this is.
6:22 am
in a statement, world rugby said it welcomed the latest research and was engaged in a constant and open conversation about what changes to the game may be appropriate. but some will ask how a game like professional rugby that thrives on collisions between heavily built players can eliminate the risk of concussion and head impacts without changing the very nature of the game itself. dominic hughes, bbc news. a really interesting study. at 8.10am, we will be joined by the former england hooker steve thompson who, as we just saw in that film, is living with early onset dementia. he will be with us on the sofa. let's take a look at some of today's papers. no prizes for guessing what dominates. the tory party conference. the times looks ahead to the prime minister's conference speech later today. it says �*truss the disruptor�* will aim to unite her party against what she claims
6:23 am
is an "anti—growth coalition" of labour, the unions and vested interests. she might like that rob page but not so much the others. the guardian claims the cabinet is in open warfare, with the home secretary accusing fellow tory mps of trying to stage a coup against the prime minister. the daily mail says police chiefs have agreed for the first time to send an officer to every burgled home. it says the "landmark deal" has been signed by all 43 chief constables in england and wales and comes a day after it emerged that almost 800 burglaries go unsolved every day. and the daily mirror reports on the fallout of the so—called wagatha christie trial — the defamation case brought by rebekah vardy against coleen rooney earlier this year. rebekah vardy lost her case, and has a bill of up to £1.5 million to cover legal costs.
6:24 am
according to the paper, she's calling on coleen rooney to give the money to charity. i look inside the papers. and a picture of martha who lives in hampshire. her grandad offered to grow a hampshire. her grandad offered to growa pumpkin hampshire. her grandad offered to grow a pumpkin for halloween. what is she sitting on? i cannot believe it, bigger than a slide in the park. 190 stone. how you get it out of the field i don't know. the weight of it has made it grow flat on the bottom. that is a great picture. martha looks terrified! and a name check for grandad. grandad and his brother, ian and stuart. and good morning to ed chapman in the papers today. he would like to
6:25 am
find a date. he has put a picture of himself on a billboard near where he lives in leeds. have you been driving past? i have seen it. he said he had never been on a date and would like to go on a date. he is a content creator, so creative and knows how to perfect things and he is promoting himself. he has had messages from women aged 18 to 48. good luck. i will show you that later. if you were watching breakfast a couple of weeks ago, you might have seen the endurance swimmer ross edgley. setting off on his most epic challenge. he was aiming to swim for 72 hours in loch ness without a break. ross managed a hugely impressive 52 hours — in which he swam nearly 50 miles
6:26 am
before he was taken ill and rushed to hospital. he has not explained yet what happened, how ill he was. but he is feeling better and he will be on the sofa at 28 to update us. it is an incredible journey he did. despite his disappointment. 50 miles in that water. you know what we have to ask him. did you see the monster? it was not the monster that attacked him. i think you had a skin thing, and infection. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. some rail services across the capital will be disrupted today because of a 24—hour strike by train drivers from 12 companies in a long—running dispute over pay. these are the affected companies who say they'll have little
6:27 am
to no service today. the tube, the elizabeth line and 0verground will continue to run as normal. line and 0verground will new figures show the record summer heatwave saw visitor numbers drop into the centre of the capital. the high streets data service stats suggests that on the day london reached 40 degrees celsius, visitors to central london fell to about three—quarters of the previous month's total. the mayor said that the drop in footfall was "to the detriment" of businesses. plans to build 19—storey tower blocks and a new shopping centre in southeast london have been withdrawn after thousands of local objections. the scheme at the walnuts in 0rpington would have provided nearly 1,000 new homes alongside a new town square and elderly day care centre. a spokesperson for the developer said it remained "fully committed to providing a vibrant and distinctive town centre". campaigners trying to save a decaying plane from the scrapheap say they're heartbroken after running out of time to raise the money they need to rescue it. the handley page dart herald
6:28 am
hasn't flown since 1994 and was one of only 50 built. it's been kept at gatwick but expansion plans mean the airliner is now in the way. it was iconic at its time, and... if we lose it, we've lost it forever. yes, there are three others but, as i say, they're just static examples at the moment, and we were hoping to get this one running. it's just another nail in the coffin of aviation heritage, really. a look at the tube board. there are minor delays on the district line, and the 0verground is part suspended. other lines running well. but of course the rail strike is affecting lots of train services, as i mentioned earlier. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, it's a very mild start to the day across the capital with many of our temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. still a noticeably brisk south—westerly wind blowing, as well, but lots of dry weather around throughout the morning. and then we're likely to see a short spell of possibly quite heavy rain
6:29 am
for a time through the afternoon. it moves its way southwards and eastwards, so the rain won't last for very long. ahead of and on this weather front, there'll be some strong, gusty winds — perhaps gusting as high as 40 miles an hour. but behind the front, then, lots of dry weather, too, as we head towards the end of the day — maybe one or two showers following on behind, but generally dry, some brighter spells, temperatures will be lower, though — perhaps just 16 degrees celsius for western home counties. and in that cooler—feeling air overnight tonight, temperatures are likely to drop back into single figures. it should stay mostly dry, so it's a chillier start to the day on thursday. on thursday, still a noticeable south—westerly wind blowing, but there will be a lot of sunshine around — maybe clouding over towards the end of the day. we mightjust see a few outbreaks of rain towards the end of the day on friday, but other than that, it is mostly dry. i'll be back in half an hour. plenty more on our website and social media, including on the campaign to save hundreds of london's gas lamps. have a good morning. bye for now.
6:30 am
you're watching breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. still to come on today's programme... we'll be going "under the sea" with the ocean conservation photographer of the year awards — and hearing what these stunning images can teach us about our impact on nature. matt baker is getting back on his rickshaw for children in need — he'll be on the sofa to reveal the details of his latest challenge. # diamonds are forever, forever, forever... what a party this would have been. there was a big bond bash at the royal albert hall last night to mark the 60th anniversary of the first 007 movie — doctor no. we'll bring you more on that in around 20 minutes. we've spoken a lot on breakfast
6:31 am
about the tireless work done by food banks as the cost—of—living crisis continues to bite — but it's notjust food that many people are struggling to afford. the cost of hygiene products like soap, toothpaste and sanitary protection is also rising — and one charity has told us that demand for those items is soaring. breakfast�*s jayne mccubbin has been finding out more. st cuthbert�*s academy is in the shadow of blackpool�*s pleasure beach. summer season is over. a hard winter lies ahead. and the job of headteacher sarah smith increasingly feels less like teaching, more like social work. we sometimes have toilet rolls and other hygiene products. nappies are a really, really sought—after resource, so... they keep essential items here to help out struggling parents, and run a free community washing machine. and if electricity is an issue for families, they can
6:32 am
use our electricity, our water, and the products are here. so it's an amazing resource. lynsey, the school's safeguarding officer, used to support only a small number of families known to social services. not any more. we've got, you know, working families who aren't eligible for free school meals, but they can't afford to pay for the child's school meal. what happens then? debt increases. do you have that figure? do you know what that figure is? has it increased ? i know for certain that there is one family that have in excess of £1,000 worth of debt. they send their children to school. i can't not feed their children, can i? and this isn't families exploiting you. no, those families are families that are doing their very best, trying to get out of the cycle that perhaps their parents have had. love you, see you at 3.00, be good now. | see you at 3.00, babe. alex's childhood was hard. marred by domestic violence, she'd love much more for her son. i want him to have -
6:33 am
everything i never had. car, holidays. but you can't do that. she sniffs. there's no way i can afford to heat that flat — not a chance. _ you must worry, having a little boy. yeah, course. all the time — it's constant. constant on your mind. yeah, yeah. and he's only six! when you worry about heating or eating, some things fall down the list of priorities. this church team in macclesfield have a name for themselves. yeah! all: team tampon! we really need to get some t—shirts done. they laugh. they're busy bagging up toiletries for families who will visit their food bank. you know, your sanitary protection, shampoo, conditioner — the very, very basics. we're notjust giving people food for them to eat, we want them to feel good about themselves.
6:34 am
these have got all the toiletries in they need to feel confident, fresh. these donations have all been collected a few miles away — here, in wilmslow. and this is our amazing team tuesday. team tuesday, hello. hello... it's a relatively affluent area, but even here they are noticing people making difficult choices — because donations are in decline. it's just from my own family's shopping recently — i noticed a tube of toothpaste was £5 last week and i was staggered myself — which, you know... so if you are struggling, really struggling, then you can imagine meeting those challenges is just catapulted to an out—of—reach luxury. this squeeze is impacting everyone. lisa spent covid being treated for cancer. now she's fighting to keep her business going. bye! have a lovely day. thank you. see you later. you fight for your own business, you fight to keep a roof over your head, you fight to put food on the plate.
6:35 am
butjust sometimes you seem to fight, and for what? when you go into the supermarket, roughly how much do you have to play with? um, probably about... i'd say about £40. that's not a lot to feed a family of...how many? five. for food. and toiletries. yes. and everything. yes, i would say about £40 to £50, yes. but we manage, you know. i know i can come to school and i can speak to somebody at school and say, "you know what? we've got an issue." there is a safety net forfamilies here. but those families know things are likely to get worse before they get better. jane mccubbin, bbc news. let's get more on this from ruth brock, who runs the hygiene bank charity. she's in south london. can you just explain fight us, what is the definition of hygienic poverty for people that maybe haven't heard of it before, and how much does this impact people? we now know because — much does this impact people? we now know because of _ much does this impact people? we now know because of the _ much does this impact people? we now know because of the research _ much does this impact people? we now know because of the research that - know because of the research that the hygiene bank is publishing a

date that hygiene p poverty is the hidden crisis facing the uk and it is where adults and their families are going without the basics that many of us get to take for granted. they just can't afford many of us get to take for granted. theyjust can't afford to many of us get to take for granted. they just can't afford to access toothpaste, toothbrushes, laundry detergent, deodorant. the things that we all feel that we need to go about our daily lives. and it's having a terrible impact, it's feeding the mental health crisis, it's trapping people in their homes, it's trapping people in their homes, it's stopping them fulfilling their potential. i it's stopping them fulfilling their otential. ~ ., , , ., potential. i know the numbers are cuite potential. i know the numbers are quite shocking. — potential. i know the numbers are quite shocking, but _ potential. i know the numbers are quite shocking, but one _ potential. i know the numbers are quite shocking, but one of- potential. i know the numbers are i quite shocking, but one of the most shocking things was that it disproportionately affect disabled people. 0bviously those on low incomes, people with long—term health conditions and ethnic minorities. can you explain that? absolutely. we now know for the first time that 3.1 million adults in the uk are experiencing hygiene poverty and that is probably the tip
6:37 am

but they could not take them and come the second half, frankfurt nearly made them pay. tottenham keeper hugo lloris to the rescue. the result, a 0—0 draw, but for spurs a potentially valuable point. andy swiss, bbc news. you feel for the copenhagen defence tonight. they're the ones who have the uneviable task of trying to stop erling haaland. there he is, expected to be leading the line with city hoping to maintain their 100% start in the competition in their pursuit of the title that still evades them. chelsea also in action against ac milan, celtic face rb leipzig. at his age, no—one can compete with him. no—one. so the numbers speak for itself. and inside, in the locker room, on the pitch, we see things that are not in the stats that make us feel happy to have him here. there'll be another notable absentee

6:46 am
gusts at 5pm are pretty strong, still. the strongest winds today will be around the coasts, where inland we are still looking at gusty winds. if you have anything small and loose in your garden, it might be a way of securing it, and these are our temperatures, 11 to 16 degrees. into the evening and overnight, the wrinklies completely, some clear skies with showers in the south but the showers will continue and some still heavy across the northern and western parts of the uk. too much wind tonight for any issues with fog or frost. these are our overnight lows, not quite as mild as starch to the day tomorrow as this morning. as we head on into tomorrow, we are looking at these weather front thinking southwards then we have a low pressure not too far away from the north with this one front coming in, which will bring a fairfew one front coming in, which will bring a fair few showers. it is still going to be windy. we start off on a dry note with some
6:47 am
sunshine, showers already in the west keep going and on this brisk wind some of them will blow over towards the east as we go through the course of today, and again some will be heavy. the wind picking up across england and wales through the day, as well. temperatures 12 to 19 degrees. then as we move into friday, we will have heavy rain overnight in scotland and northern ireland, which will sink southwards during friday, and on the other side we will see a return to some heavy showers. still brisk winds, as well, and temperatures ten to 19 degrees. then a ridge of high pressure tries to build in into the weekend. saturday is looking like the driest day of the weekend because on sunday in the area of low pressure shows its hand across the north—west of the country and that is likely to bring in some stronger winds through the day into the north—west, and also some heavy rain, as well. really, the message for the next few daysis really, the message for the next few days is the wind is going to be a

i play golf in the morning. mm. in the afternoon, we'd take the wife out either for a little trip in the car, or a walk. retirement's no longer like that — so retirement as a time of leisure and enjoyment is not so much a reality. i'd worked until 60 and i wanted to enjoy life with a freedom. how do you feel now? oh, i'm very happy indeed. not at a loose end? not at all! what we've seen in the past few years is a change in terms of pension provision and the fact we are are living longer than we used to live before. so our pots of money don't go as far as it used to, so it means that we have less disposable income to spend on leisure. you're never bored at all? never bored at all, no. as you can see, i have a large garden here. so much so, in between television in the evenings and friends — which i have a good number of —

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. some rail services across the capital will be disrupted today because of strike action by train drivers in a long—running each dispute over pay. these are the 12 affected companies who say they'll have little to no service today. the tube and the elizabeth line will continue to run as normal. a new transit scheme linking luton airport to the railway has been delayed again and won't be up and running until next year at the earliest. the direct air—rail transit system was due to open at the end of 2020 and replace the bus transfer service, but a new opening date won't be announced until early 2023. the owners of the airport say the delayis mostly down to revenue and ticketing arrangements. plans to build 19—5torey tower blocks and a new shopping centre in southeast london have been withdrawn after thousand5 of local objections. the scheme at the walnut5 in 0rrpington would have provided nearly
6:58 am
a thousand new homes, alongside a new town square and elderly day care centre. a spokesperson for the developer said it remained "fully committed to providing a vibrant and distinctive town centre". campaigners trying to save a decaying plane from the scrapheap say they're heartbroken after running out of time to raise the money to rescue it. the handley page dart herald hasn't flown since 1994 and was one of only 50 built. it's been kept at gatwick airport, but expansion plans mean there's now no room for it. it was iconic at its time, and... if we lose it, we've lost it forever. yes, there are three others but, as i say, they're just 5tatic examples at the moment, and we were hoping to get this one running. it's just another nail in the coffin of aviation heritage, really. let's have a look at the tube board. all line5 running well. of course, the rail strike is affecting lots of train services including the 0verground as i mentioned earlier. now the weather with

elizabet rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, it's a very mild start to the day across the capital with many of our temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. still a noticeably brisk south—westerly wind blowing, as well, but lots of dry weather around throughout the morning. and then we're likely to see a short spell of possibly quite heavy rain for a time through the afternoon. it moves its way southwards and eastwards, so the rain won't last for very long. ahead of and on this weather front, there'll be some strong, gusty wind5 — perhap5 gu5ting as high a5 40 miles an hour. but behind the front, then, lots of dry weather, too, as we head towards the end of the day — maybe one or two showers following on behind, but generally dry, some brighter 5pells, temperatures will be lower, though — perhaps just 16 degrees celsius for western home counties. and in that cooler—feeling air overnight tonight, temperatures are likely to drop back into single figures. it should stay mostly dry, so it's a chillier start to the day on thursday. on thursday, still a noticeable south—westerly wind blowing, but there will be a lot of sunshine around — maybe clouding over

today. it's wednesday, the 5th of october. the prime minister will attempt to get her own party on side today as she makes her keynote speech at the conservative conference. liz tru55 is expected to insist that her economic plans will be worth what she'll call the "disruption" they cause. the event in birmingham has seen a dramatic u—turn, policy changes and threatened rebellions, as our political correspondent ione wells reports. how's it going? very well. - the chancellor laughs. but it couldn't be further from the truth. the hard hats on a visit here in birmingham couldn't shield the prime minister and chancellor from a bruising few days at their party conference. liz truss plans to use her set piece speech today to explain why the disruption caused by her economic policies will be worth it. she will argue everyone will benefit from economic growth she thinks her tax cuts will bring.
7:03 am
her challenge today is to take the members and mp5 in the room with her. unhappy tory mp5 forced ministers to perform a u—turn over their plans to cut the top rate of tax for the highest earners. the home secretary, suella braverman, accused her colleagues of staging a coup. i'm very disappointed that members of our own parliamentary party staged a coup, effectively, and undermined the authority of the prime minister in an unprofessional way. good morning, mr gove. the latest row brewing among tory mp5 is whether to raise benefits in line with rising prices rather than in line with rising wages, which would be much lower. some mp5 argue they should — to help the most vulnerable. the money you give into this area to deal with the worst off will go straight back into the economy. so that will help growth, ironically. at the time when we need growth rather than recession, that will be helpful. the cabinet minister, penny
7:04 am
mordaunt, also said they should. the prime minister told the bbc�*s political editor chris mason that no decision had been made. all of these things depend on the specific circumstances. but what i sought to do when i got into office is deal with the big challenges that we face as a country. people were facing energy bills of up to £6,000. so it's about making the right decisions at the right time. the party may have physically come together over the last few days, but the splits within it have rarely been laid so bare. ione wells, bbc news, birmingham. what a week in birmingham. chief political correspondent nick eardley is at the conference in birmingham. what does the prime minister need to do in the big speech today? what does she have to achieve? gaad does she have to achieve? good morninu. does she have to achieve? good morning- i _ does she have to achieve? good morning. ithink— does she have to achieve? good morning. i think she _ does she have to achieve? good morning. i think she will -

(13mm morning. i think she will try to get back on the front foot and saved to tory members and to voters across the country, i have a plan and i think it will work. i would expect the speech to be focused on the economy and i would expect her to say it is worth it, having disruption in the economy, to deliver growth. but there is the question what the disruption will mean when it comes to mortgages, the money in our pockets. the wider question liz truss faces going into this speech is can she really get her party onside? as we have been speaking about all week, it has been a brutal baptism of fire for liz truss. amazing to think she has been prime ministerjust four weeks and prime minister just four weeks and just prime ministerjust four weeks and just this week we saw a massive u—turn on the 45p top tax rate. we saw the government forced to come up

with plans to bring down the amount the government is borrowing which will happen quicker because of pressure from tory mp5. we saw a row yesterday on how much benefit should go yesterday on how much benefit should 9° up yesterday on how much benefit should go up by. there is basically a party within a party now. a lot of senior conservatives are not happy with liz truss and have made it clear they will keep speaking out, so the context for liz truss' speech today is not one she will welcome. she will try to get back on the front foot. if the last few days have taught us anything, the rhetoric and the reality often are not the same. and this beach is at 11 o'clock? yes, we will have it live. across the bbc- _ president zelensky says ukrainian forces are making rapid and powerful advances in the south and east of the country, following successful attempts to disrupt russian supply lines. he said dozens of settlements have been liberated this week, including a string of villages near kherson.
7:07 am
0ur correspondent hugo bachega is in kyiv. we are seeing a significant change on the front lines in the south of the country. the russians have been forced to abandon some key positions as the ukrainian army is advancing in the region of kherson along the dnipro river which is acting as a natural barrier in that part of the country. and it seems that the russians are trying to avoid being circled by the ukrainian army and we're getting reports from russian sources suggesting a very difficult situation for those russian forces in that part of the kherson region, so it's very likely the ukrainians will continue to make some gains and reclaim territory in that part of the country. now, the big target here is the city of kherson — this is the one to watch because this is one of the largest ukrainian cities in russian hands. it is the only regional capital under russian occupation. the russians moved in at the very beginning of the war and they faced very little resistance.
7:08 am
so we're expecting to see some intense fighting in the battle for the city when the ukrainians manage to get to the outskirts of the city. so this is what is happening in the south. in the east, the ukrainians are still advancing, making some gains after those advances over the weekend in the region of donetsk. but i think we're starting to see pictures and footage from the villages that have been liberated not only in the east but the south. villages have been completely devastated by the war, so we're getting a sense of the human cost of what has happened to dozens of towns and villages that are now being liberated. a 14—year—old boy is being held on suspicion of murder and a 14—year—old girl is being held on

but it's too slow. the things we are doing now we needed to do three months ago. so, in reality, we are behind. i think something catastrophic will happen in this area. catastrophic — you mean famine spreading? famine spreading. but drought is not the only challenge. somalia is at war. a long fight against an islamist insurgency is limiting access to many vulnerable communities. he's buried here beside the family's makeshift camp.

7:19 am
tells us that things are getting more expensive. costing more to do the shop. but the supermarket itself is also feeling increased cost pressure. the cost of heating and lighting the shops and warehouses is going up. energy bills for their more expensive. the fuel crisis with the first half of the year petrol and diesel prices high and costing more to transport goods. and they face pressure from unions to increase staff wages in line with other retailers are doing. and that is something they have to consider because they have to fight to retract workers when a lot of places are struggling to get people to fill vacancies. the real pressure for them is how they keep customers when rivals such as algae supermarket overtaking morrisons recently as the fourth biggest supermarket, as people feel the squeeze and try to
7:20 am
make their money go further —— aldi supermarket. peoplejust make their money go further —— aldi supermarket. people just trying make their money go further —— aldi supermarket. peoplejust trying not to let the cost of the weekly shop run away. the chief executive of tesco acknowledges this and says customers seek out quality and value of own brand ranges. even when customers stay with the supermarket, they look for cheaper alternatives. the chief executive says people are trying to work out how to make their money go further and, in some cases, instead of eating out, they are cutting back and buying meal deals to take from the supermarket to have at home. it is a tough moment for supermarkets because, ordinarily, if their cost pressure goes up, electricity, gas, fuel, they would pass it on in higher prices but the danger is if they do that, they will lose customers who cannot afford to pay any more. i lose customers who cannot afford to pay any more-—

7:22 am
but heart—breaking image of a sea turtle that has become entangled in abandoned fishing nets off the coast of sri lanka. it was taken by a german photographer — simon lorenz — who managed to cut the animal free after taking this picture. in my line of work i do see it quite often, unfortunately, that marine animals are trapped. it is painful to see because obviously we are, as a human, the cause of the underlying situation. so in this case, it's a mass of nets which fishermen use to catch fish, not turtles. and somehow this ghost net came adrift, or whatever happened to it. but we are the reason these animals are stuck in trash like that. that is simon who took the winning photograph. let's talk now to hannah rudd, who is a marine biologist and conservationist.
7:23 am
good morning. the good news is in that particular case, the turtle survived. simon rescued it after taking the picture. but heartbreaking to see it tangled up. absolutely. unfortunately, this is becoming more common in the world's oceans, particularly looking at ghost nets, discarded nets from commercial vessels that are left and they drift through the ocean and continue to fish for the rest of their lives. they might catch turtles, dolphins, other marine life. this one was lucky and thankfully there was a human to cut him out and let him live another day. him out and let him live another da . �* . . him out and let him live another da . �* . , ., ., him out and let him live another da. . , ., ., day. an incredible image and story. how important _ day. an incredible image and story. how important is _ day. an incredible image and story. how important is it _ day. an incredible image and story. how important is it we _ day. an incredible image and story. how important is it we look- day. an incredible image and story. how important is it we look at i day. an incredible image and story. | how important is it we look at these images and also know the story behind them?— images and also know the story behind them? ~ ,,., , ., behind them? absolutely. the ocean is out of sight. _ behind them? absolutely. the ocean is out of sight, out _ behind them? absolutely. the ocean is out of sight, out of _ behind them? absolutely. the ocean is out of sight, out of mind _ behind them? absolutely. the ocean is out of sight, out of mind for- behind them? absolutely. the ocean is out of sight, out of mind for so i is out of sight, out of mind for so many. everyone has so much going on in their minds. it can be hard to

consider another shocking thing happening on the planet. thankfully this competition has shed a light on the negative impact humans are having which might be through climate change, plastic and sewage pollution, other impacts on marine environment overfishing. but also the positive stuff. there is wonderful images of marine life that shows the diversity in the seas, and the conservation effort going ahead. this is a great white shark. my favourite animal. i think these guys are massively misunderstood creatures. thanks to jaws. peter benchley who wrote jaws said he would not have done it if he thought we would have this persecution of sharks as a result. i think this is a green sea turtle. just sitting on a green sea turtle. just sitting on a coral reef. stunning images. and

good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. some rail services across the capital will be disrupted today because of strike action by train drivers in a long—running dispute over pay. these are the 12 affected companies who say they'll have little to no service today. the tube and the elizabeth line will continue to run as normal. new figures show the record heatwave over the summer saw visitor numbers drop into the centre of the capital. the stats from the high streets data service suggests that on the day london reached 40 degrees, visitors to central london fell by a quarter on the previous month's total. the mayor said that the drop in footfall was "to the detriment" of businesses. plans to build 19—storey tower blocks and a new shopping centre in south east london have been withdrawn after thousands of local objections. the scheme at the walnuts in 0rpington would have provided nearly a thousand new homes, alongside a new town square and elderly day care centre. a spokesperson for the developer said it remained "fully committed to providing a vibrant
7:30 am
and distinctive town centre". campaigners trying to save a decaying plane from the scrapheap say they're heartbroken after running out of time to raise the money to rescue it. the handley page dart herald hasn't flown since 1994 and was one of only 50 built. it's been kept at gatwick airport but expansion plans mean there's now no room for it. it was iconic at its time, and... if we lose it, we've lost it forever. yes, there are three others but, as i say, they're just static examples at the moment, and we were hoping to get this one running. it's just another nail in the coffin of aviation heritage, really. let's have a look at the tube board. all lines running well, but of course the rail strike is affecting lots of train services including the 0verground, as i mentioned earlier. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, it's a very mild start to the day across the capital
7:31 am
with many of our temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. still a noticeably brisk south—westerly wind blowing, as well, but lots of dry weather around throughout the morning. and then we're likely to see a short spell of possibly quite heavy rain for a time through the afternoon. it moves its way southwards and eastwards, so the rain won't last for very long. ahead of and on this weather front, there'll be some strong, gusty winds — perhaps gusting as high as 40 miles an hour. but behind the front, then, lots of dry weather, too, as we head towards the end of the day — maybe one or two showers following on behind, but generally dry, some brighter spells, temperatures will be lower, though — perhaps just 16 degrees celsius for western home counties. and in that cooler—feeling air overnight tonight, temperatures are likely to drop back into single figures. it should stay mostly dry, so it's a chillier start to the day on thursday. on thursday, still a noticeable south—westerly wind blowing, but there will be a lot of sunshine around — maybe clouding over towards the end of the day. we mightjust see a few outbreaks of rain towards the end of the day on friday, but other than that, it is mostly dry.

the conservative party talk about growth, growing the economy, stimulating parts of the uk that have got huge amounts of talents but perhaps not the infrastructure to unlock that talent. that is what we have been talking of i understand people have focused in on other things that the vibe i have picked up things that the vibe i have picked up on is a party that is keen to get back to work, get the country moving forward and the economy going. let’s forward and the economy going. let's talk about examples. _ forward and the economy going. let's talk about examples. penny mordaunt, your cabinet colleague, yesterday that benefits should go up to match inflation. is she right? all that benefits should go up to match inflation. is she right?— inflation. is she right? all cabinet colleaaues inflation. is she right? all cabinet colleagues are _ inflation. is she right? all cabinet colleagues are going _ inflation. is she right? all cabinet colleagues are going to _ inflation. is she right? all cabinet colleagues are going to have - inflation. is she right? all cabinet colleagues are going to have to i colleagues are going to have to abide by elective responsibility. she wasn't doing that yesterday. lhla she wasn't doing that yesterday. in; policy has been made as yet, she is feeding in ideas. i think it is always better and easier to feed ideas, particularly in government, who have access to the chancellor and prime minister, feed your ideas directly into the centre of the system because ultimately we have to make decisions that work for the uk,
7:35 am
decisions that work for those people on benefits who need our support and also for people to pay their taxes that fund our benefits and public services, and we will be doing that in the normal manner and announcements will be made early next year but what about the home secretary? she next year but what about the home secreta ? ,, ,., ., next year but what about the home secreta ? ,, ., , ., secretary? she said there had been a cou in the secretary? she said there had been a coun in the party _ secretary? she said there had been a coup in the party when _ secretary? she said there had been a coup in the party when ligament - secretary? she said there had been a coup in the party when ligament was| coup in the party when ligament was forced to drop the 45p tax decision. was she right? the forced to drop the 45p tax decision. was she right?_ forced to drop the 45p tax decision. was she right? the point is that the 45- was she right? the point is that the 45 tax was she right? the point is that the 45p tax rate — was she right? the point is that the 45p tax rate was — was she right? the point is that the 45p tax rate was dominating - was she right? the point is that the 45p tax rate was dominating the - 45p tax rate was dominating the discussion and overshadowing... she said it was a — discussion and overshadowing... she said it was a coup. the question is, was there a coup in the party that led to it happening? that was there a coup in the party that led to it happening?— led to it happening? that is not that is not _ led to it happening? that is not that is not my _ led to it happening? that is not that is not my interpretation i led to it happening? that is not that is not my interpretation of| that is not my interpretation of events. what i saw was a package that gave support to families who were worried about paying their energy bills, cut taxes for 30 million working people by bringing that 20p rate down, talked about infrastructure in the road network and rail network and growth zones around the economy. that is what the package was but what we were talking

about was literally something worth less than 5% of the overall package, and if less than 5% of the package is 95% of the conversation, you need to get the destruction of the box. we can focus on the growth, growth, growth we are pumping into the british economy. the growth we are pumping into the british economy.— growth we are pumping into the british economy. the reason i'm askinu british economy. the reason i'm asking about _ british economy. the reason i'm asking about the _ british economy. the reason i'm asking about the specific - british economy. the reason i'm i asking about the specific examples is because liz truss has been prime minister for is because liz truss has been prime ministerfor a is because liz truss has been prime minister for a you would expect her to have an iron grip over her top team and instead we have had cabinet ministers freelancing on the airwaves and in fringe meetings about what they think is going on in the party. that feels like it really damages the prime minister's authority party conference where ideas get kicked around that we have these fringe meetings. it is a debate, discussion, but ultimately when the decisions i made we have collective responsibility to work to deliver those decisions. decisions about the operating of benefits will be made over the next few months and will be announced early next year,
7:37 am
as we always do. and when they are announced all of those people will of course lean in and make sure we deliver good government on behalf of the people of the uk. let me ask you about the prime minister's a big vision we will hear more about staples that we are told it will be very focused on the economy. the prime minister seems to be saying that economic disruption is worth it to get economic growth. what does that disruption mean, what do you think it is ok for people to see in their daily lives to get that economic growth? a lot of our viewers are really worried about their mortgage payments going up, worried about holidays becoming more expensive because of the weakness of the pound. is that worth it? the auestion the pound. is that worth it? the question you — the pound. is that worth it? tue: question you have the pound. is that worth it? tte: question you have to the pound. is that worth it? tt2 question you have to ask... there are three options late comes to the future direction of the economy. you can have growth, you can have stagnation, oryou can have growth, you can have stagnation, or you can have reductions. you can have a recession. the obvious question is, which of those do you want? growth,
7:38 am
stagnation or recession? i think your viewers would want us to go for growth and if you don't have a plan for growth you don't have a plan for government liz has set out a relentlessly progrowth agenda and when the growth comes, and it will come quickly because she is working at real pace, she hasn't hung around, she has got straight to work. when that growth comes people feel it in their paycheques, increased productivity, in better infrastructure. they will feel it in the growth zones. and that is what we are going for. the alternatives are stagnation or recession, they are stagnation or recession, they are not what anybody would want us to go for it. t are not what anybody would want us to no for it. ~ are not what anybody would want us to go for it— to go for it. i think most would agree- -- _ to go for it. i think most would agree... micro _ to go for it. i think most would agree... micro question i'm i to go for it. i think most would i agree... micro question i'm asking, the prime minister says disruption is worth it. how much disruption? let me finish this one. are you 0k, let me finish this one. are you ok, for example, with people who have houses paying higher mortgage interest payments to get to economic growth in the medium term? we growth in the medium term? 2 absolutely understand that people
7:39 am
who are worrying about their mortgage payments going up need to be reassured that we will see growth in the economy. now... we have had a very, very long period of unprecedentedly low interest rates and what we are seeing right across the globe... in america the interest rates are already going up. in other european countries the interest rates are already going up or are starting to go. we are seeing interest rate, open interest rate pressure right across the globe. what we need to do is we need to make sure that we can offset that through economic growth because that is the only way that you can sustainable a keep the economy going. tt sustainable a keep the economy otitn _ , ., , ~' sustainable a keep the economy otitn, , ~' sustainable a keep the economy anoin. , ~ ., going. it sounds like you are saying increases on _ going. it sounds like you are saying increases on mortgage _ going. it sounds like you are saying increases on mortgage payments . going. it sounds like you are saying i increases on mortgage payments are ok as 0k as long as you get that 0k as 0k as long as you get that final... ~ . . 0k as 0k as long as you get that final... ~ ., ., _ 0k as 0k as long as you get that final... ~ ., ., , 0k as 0k as long as you get that final... 2 ., ., , ., final... what i am saying is what i literally iust _ final... what i am saying is what i literally just said. _ final... what i am saying is what i literallyjust said. you _ final... what i am saying is what i literallyjust said. you are - final... what i am saying is what i literallyjust said. you are saying | literallyjust said. you are saying something different. t’m literallyjust said. you are saying something different.— literallyjust said. you are saying something different. i'm trying to interret something different. i'm trying to interpret it. _ something different. i'm trying to interpret it, figure _ something different. i'm trying to interpret it, figure out _ something different. i'm trying to interpret it, figure out whether i something different. i'm trying to. interpret it, figure out whether you think it is ok for interest rates to go to stop it is not whether or not it is ok. it is what is happening. t
7:40 am
it is ok. it is what is happening. i know it is happening! the point it is ok. it is what is happening. t know it is happening! the point i'm making is that when interest rates across the globe are starting to go up, we need to recognise that that is... there is almost an inevitability about an increase in interest rates because it is going on around the world. we need to make sure we find a way of offsetting that by having a growing economy, growing wages, growth, growth, growth. that is what the plan is because, as i say, the other alternatives are stagnation or recession and we are not going there. ., , ., ., recession and we are not going there. ., i. ., , there. one of your former cabinet colleagues. _ there. one of your former cabinet colleagues, grant _ there. one of your former cabinet colleagues, grant shapps, - there. one of your former cabinet colleagues, grant shapps, said i there. one of your former cabinet i colleagues, grant shapps, said last night that he thinks the prime minister has ten days to turn around her premiership. how long do you give her? we her premiership. how long do you ive her? ~ ., ., her premiership. how long do you ive her? ., ., , her premiership. how long do you ive her? ~ ., ., , ., her premiership. how long do you iveher? ., ., , ., , .,, give her? we have a couple of years until the next _ give her? we have a couple of years until the next general— give her? we have a couple of years untilthe next general election, i give her? we have a couple of years until the next general election, we i until the next general election, we have to make decisions that are right for the british people, write for the british economy. as i said, it is about investment and growth. people saying, hang on, we need to see the fruits of that in ten days, thatis see the fruits of that in ten days, that is ridiculous. the point is
7:41 am
that is ridiculous. the point is that the chancellor, the prime minister, the government has said we have got to give a turbo boost to the british economy. that is why we gave that tax cut, the 20p down to 19p, the tax cut the 30 million i9p, the tax cut the 30 million working people, that is why we are looking at investment zones, infrastructure investment, that is why we are going for growth. you did sa a few why we are going for growth. you did say a few minutes _ why we are going for growth. you did say a few minutes ago, _ why we are going for growth. you did say a few minutes ago, back- why we are going for growth. you did say a few minutes ago, back on i why we are going for growth. you did say a few minutes ago, back on the i say a few minutes ago, back on the benefits issue, that we wouldn't get an announcement until next year. am i right in saying we get it this year, in the next few weeks we should find out what the government policy is? the last government which you are to have said that inflation level benefit increases should happen from april.— level benefit increases should happen from april. level benefit increases should ha en from aril. . ., ., ., happen from april. what we have got to do is look — happen from april. what we have got to do is look at _ happen from april. what we have got to do is look at all— happen from april. what we have got to do is look at all government i to do is look at all government expenditure and all government incomes in the round. that is what the job of the chancellor is. what i am not going to do, and what i don't think it's healthy to do, is a stark speculating or thinking out loud about how we balance the competing
7:42 am
financial pressures that governments have to deal with. but of course what we are going to do is recognise that prices and costs are going up. we also recognise that we need to get greater increases in wages. but what we are not going to do is start thinking out loud here at conference the kind of things that should be done carefully and properly and sensibly through the treasury process in the normal way. process in the normalway. before ou o, i process in the normalway. before you go. i know — process in the normalway. before you go. i know we _ process in the normalway. before you go, i know we have _ process in the normalway. before you go, i know we have a - process in the normalway. before you go, i know we have a busy i process in the normal way. before. you go, i know we have a busy day, there are tory mps who will say to you privately here that they think the prime minister has squandered all the goodwill she had when she became prime minister. they think, incredibly, to say this, a month into her premiership, that she might be beyond the point of no return, that actually it is fundamentally broken and she will struggle to win back the initiative. how certain are you that liz truss is the person who leads the conservative party into the next election? liz

7:44 am
is sticking to the government line saying he is absolutely convinced that the prime minister is on the right track and that she will lead the party into the next general election, but it is remarkable, really remarkable, but there are some people here, quite a lot of people actually, who are not convinced that that is definitely true, to think that her premiership is already in deep, deep trouble, despite the fact she has only been pm for a month.— pm for a month. james cleverly sa in it pm for a month. james cleverly saying it has — pm for a month. james cleverly saying it has been _ pm for a month. james cleverly saying it has been brilliant, i saying it has been brilliant, "absolutely fa ntastic" saying it has been brilliant, "absolutely fantastic" week. t will "absolutely fantastic" week. i will ut that "absolutely fantastic" week. i will put that down _ "absolutely fantastic" week. i will put that down as _ "absolutely fantastic" week. i will put that down as a _ "absolutely fantastic" week. i will put that down as a positive spin. laughter i think there are some here who might slightly question his interpretation of how the last few days have gone. there are always some people who really enjoy these conferences and think they have been great, but in terms of the prime minister authority, even if government ministers will not come on breakfast and say it, there has definitely been hit to the authority
7:45 am
of the prime minister, and i would bet quite considerable amounts that that will continue, even after the speech today, even though she will try and get back on the front foot and we are back in westminster after the recess in just over a week, and we are back in westminster after the recess injust over a week, or just under a week actually, i think a lot of these rows will continue. for now, thank you very much. the prime minister's speech to the tory conference is at 11am on bbc two at the bbc news channel. let’s talk about something that has already happened, quite a big game at anfield. always a big night in the champions league and liverpool playing rangers, they have ever faced before. the battle between two huge british sides, it made it extra special and for all liverpool's apache lead for this season, they put that behind them to win 2—0. rangers might feel disappointed that they didn't go at them a bit more. the return leg next week. a great
7:46 am
occasion. morning. liverpool coming out on top on what was an historic night. for all their achievements the first time they've faced each other. and what a way to get things going. trent alexander—arnold with this stunning free—kick. a telling response after a difficult few weeks for him before mo salah sealed the points from the penalty spot, putting liverpool on course to qualify for the knock out stages, rangers though remain bottom. we are competing against one of the best sides in europe, so the gap is there — doesn't mean you have to lose the game. and i think we competed really well because it's a strong team. set pieces, we defended really well, which is very hard because they take it really well, they have good headers. and, you know, we will learn from this game — my team will learn from this game, my players personally — and we should take those experience, you know, into the next game and also into the league. there were plenty of chances but no goals in tottenham's match at eintracht frankfurt.
7:47 am
harry kane came close in the first half. spurs stay second behind sporting lisbon. frankfurt remain third with marseilles bottom. chelsea host italian giants ac milan tonight, as graham potter looks to get his first win in the champions league after a draw with red bull salzburg last month. chelsea lost their opening match in this season's competition at dinamo zagreb under previous boss thomas tuchel. you feel for the copenhagen defence tonight. they're the ones who have the unenviable task of trying to stop erling haaland. there he is, expected to be leading the line with city hoping to maintain their 100% start in the competition in their pursuit of the title that still evades them. chelsea also in action against ac milan, celtic face rb leipzig. it is going to be a big night. you reckon he will be in the goals again. at his age, no—one can compete with him. no—one. so the numbers speak for itself. and inside, in the locker room,
7:48 am
on the pitch, we see things that are not in the stats that make us feel happy to have him here. no one, how do you stop him? can you stop him? there'll be another notable absentee from england's sell—out friendly with world champions the usa on friday. england captain leah williamson will miss the match after picking up an injury in training. it'll be the first game at wembley since they won the euros final injuly, and the winning goal scorer that day is relishing the challenge. and worcester rugby club could have their relegation from the premiership confirmed today. having been placed into administration and forced to cancel their next two fixtures, today the company that pays its staff faces liquidation in the high court. that would prompt a season long suspension and their relegation from the top flight. it's also expected to lead to a player exodus, with some already moving on loan to rivals
7:49 am
bath. it has been a nervous wait for the fans and those associated with the club. with this winding up order in the high court, liquidation, the players then certainly will not be under contract any more. they will no obligation to the club and i think they will be essentially free to go wherever they want, which without your players... i know staff are important but without the players you have nobody to play on the pitch, and relegation looming, as well. tl the pitch, and relegation looming, as well. , , , ., ., , as well. it is desperate, really desperate- — as well. it is desperate, really desperate. thank _ as well. it is desperate, really desperate. thank you. - the last time we spoke to ross edgley on breakfast, who was setting off on one of the most epic and brutal endurance challenges we've ever covered. he wanted to swim up and down loch ness for 72 hours — that's three whole days and nights — without a break. ross will be here on the sofa in moment. first, breakfast�*sjon maguire has the details of how he got on. he had nothing to prove to us. after all, he was the first person
7:50 am
to swim 2,000 miles right around the british coastline. that took five months, and quite a toll. but for ross edgley, enough is never enough. so he attempted to break two world records — for time and for distance — in loch ness two weeks ago. this is nice and calm, but as we hit the turnaround point and come back, we're going to be swimming into 20 knots of wind. so i'm going to enjoy the next 12 hours. the next 12 through the night are going to be a little bit rough. you go for it. thank you so much. good luck, ross. thank you. all the best. there he goes. big cheer again from the watching crowd. and there he is. he knew it would be tough — inhumanly so — but the weather and conditions conspired against him. his target was 72 hours — three whole days of non—stop swimming. but after 52 hours — still a mind—blowing achievement — his body could take no more.
7:51 am
he left the water and was admitted to hospital with a potentially very serious illness. as well as setting records, ross wanted to raise awareness about vital sea kelp conservation. so what's next? he may be out of the water for now, but one thing is certain — in this uncertain world of extreme endeavours, he won't be down. john maguire, bbc news. ross joins us now. 0n dry land. how are you doing? on dry land. how are you doing? good now. on dry land. how are you doing? good now- looking — on dry land. how are you doing? good now- looking at _ on dry land. how are you doing? good now. looking at that _ 0n dry land. how are you doing?

on fully to drivers. the rac says major retailers, including the supermarkets, are not cutting prices enough and and accuses them of pocketing extra profits. liftoff for liverpool in the champions league. how trent alexander—arnold's free—kick helped see off rangers in the first meeting between two of british football's great sides. double—oh—heaven. dame shirley basseyjoins a string of stars celebrating 60 years of james bond themes. good morning, a mile start for most. we have rain that will tear, then we will be left with heavy showers. the wind will be a noticeable feature today. all the details later. it's wednesday, the 5th of october. our main story.
8:02 am
the prime minister will attempt to get her own party on side today as she makes her keynote speech at the conservative conference. liz truss is expected to insist that her economic plans will be worth what she'll call the disruption they cause. the event in birmingham has seen a dramatic u—turn, policy changes and threatened rebellions. our chief political correspondent nick eardley is at the conference. it's been a chaotic few days for the conservatives and the prime minister. what was the message from her cabinet colleagues this morning? what a few days it has been and what a month it has been for liz truss. amazing to think she has only been prime ministerfour amazing to think she has only been prime minister four weeks and already there is a sense of turmoil in the conservative party. you do not struggle to find people in the conference centre who will criticise the prime minister, criticise her team and her leadership, question
8:03 am
how long she will be leader. herjob todayis how long she will be leader. herjob today is to try to say to them, i have a plan and i will make it work. even though there have been difficult moments you were just talking about. she will try to persuade party members and the country that she has a plan. we had the foreign secretary james cleverly on the programme this morning and he reckoned the conference had gone brilliantly for the prime minister. i have to say, that is not an interpretation everyone shares. i have had text messages questioning that interpretation. a lot of the reasons they think it is not going well is you have cabinet ministers freelancing on policy, what has gone on, whether the prime minister was right to dump the 45p tax policy. one we have talked about a lot is how the government will deal with
8:04 am
benefits. will it keep the promise to increase benefits by the rate of inflation? yesterday a cabinet minister said yes, that should happen. the prime minister said she had not made the decision yet. i asked the foreign secretary what he thought. penny mordaunt, your cabinet colleague, said yesterday that benefits should go up to match inflation. is she right? all cabinet colleagues are going to have to abide by elective responsibility. she wasn't doing that yesterday. no policy has been made as yet, she is feeding in ideas. i think it is always better and easier to feed ideas, particularly in government, you have access to the chancellor and prime minister, feed your ideas directly into the centre of the system because ultimately we have to make decisions that work for the uk, decisions that work for those people on benefits who need our support and also for people to pay and also for people who pay their taxes that fund our benefits
8:05 am
and public services, and we will be doing that in the normal manner and announcements will be made early next year. that is the foreign secretary on benefits. there is a row in the party about this. i do not think it will go away. the broader picture todayis will go away. the broader picture today is can liz truss get her leadership back on track? it is amazing, almost astonishing to think some mbs are already talking about whether liz truss can survive until the end of the year or whether she might be brought down by her mps. my senseis might be brought down by her mps. my sense is she probably has a few months to turn things around. james cleverly insisted she will definitely be the leader of the next election. not everyone here is convinced. studio: thank you very much. all the news from the tory party conference. officials in somalia have warned that hundreds of thousands of people could die from hunger in the coming

weeks without immediate international help. the country is experiencing its worst drought in four decades, with growing numbers of children dying of starvation and illness. efforts to send aid have been complicated by a long—running conflict with the islamist militant group, ai—shabab. ukraine's president zelensky says his forces are making rapid and powerful advances in the south and east of the country, following successful attempts to disrupt russian supply lines. he said dozens of settlements have been liberated this week, including a key village in the southern region of kherson, which prompted another russian retreat. rail services across the uk will be severely disrupted today as around 9000 train drivers in the aslef union go on strike. the 24—hour walkout means there'll be no trains on lines run by firms including northern, avanti west coast and southeastern. other operators are running limited services, which will be very busy.
8:07 am
if you have filled up with petrol recently you will notice prices have come down a bit. but maybe not as much as they should have done. they are falling faster globally. it is the phenomenon known as rocket and further stock prices go up like a rocket and come down like a feather. we saw prices shooting up at the start of the year, costing on average £100 to fill an average family car, 55 litre tank. a couple of reasons, the invasion of ukraine by russia and a spike in demand for feel when things opened up after the pandemic. global wholesale prices have come down gradually since then. the motoring group rac said it is not being entirely passed on to us at the pump. the average petrol price dropped by 7p per litre in september to just
8:08 am
price dropped by 7p per litre in september tojust under price dropped by 7p per litre in september to just under 163 p. significantly lower than in summer when injuly it averaged 100 and 90p per litre. the rac said drivers should have seen a further 10p fall last month, which would have taken the average price to around 150 2p "152 the average price to around 150 2p —— 152 p. normally a retailer make 7p —— 152 p. normally a retailer make 7p profit on every litre they sell. the rac estimates in september they made more like 17p profit every litre and the rac said that was unfair. the average wholesale price the retailers pay has dropped and when you take into account tax, transport costs and energy bills, the rac said petrol retailers pocket the rac said petrol retailers pocket the extra cash rather than passing it on to us. diesel prices are dropping not quite as quickly with the average price of a litre down by
8:09 am
3.5 p, 100 and 80p per litre last month. the petrol retailers association said they have had to grapple with changing prices over the year. they say business costs have gone up, energy bills, before the price cap kicked in. they say they need it for profit margins. but i am sure drivers will be keen to see more of the fall in price passed on in the coming months. i have to fill up this morning. you drive around looking for a better deal but use up fuel doing it. seek out a better price but using more fuel to do so. striking the comments from viewers saying average prices are nothing like where they live, especially in rural areas. some people have no option but to use the car for work such as care workers who rely on the car and they
8:10 am
cannot easily switch to a different mode of transport. and with rail strikes today, you have to use petrol in the car. let's see if carol can cheer us up with the weather. if you like wind and rain you are in fora if you like wind and rain you are in for a treat. the rain will clear early and it will brighten up as it has in gosport in the —— in the highlands. what we have is a band of rain pushing south and east and another clearing far north scotland and a noticeable gusty winds. behind the rain pushing to the south—east we will see sunny intervals and showers with temperatures going down behind the band of rain. a cold front slipping into the near continent. through the rush—hour, some sunshine around, but scattered showers. it will still be windy.
8:11 am
even gusty inland. the strongest will be with exposure. more showers coming in across northern and western scotland into northern ireland and western parts of northern england and wales. some will be thundery. overnight, a lot of showers in the south will fade but we will continue with them in the north. a cooler night in england and wales. temperatures roughly 9-12. and wales. temperatures roughly 9—12. tomorrow, we start with a lot of dry weather across southern and eastern areas. in the north and west we will have showers from the word go and they will be pushed across to the east on strong winds. tomorrow will be windy with temperatures 11-19. 11—19. you 11-19. you cheered us up a little bit. that is good to know. if you love wet and wild whether you are in for a treat. that was great. it is true. thank you.
8:12 am
a study of top—level rugby players has found they face a much greater risk of developing brain conditions such as dementia, parkinson's and motor neurone disease. the work was carried out by the same glasgow university team that identified a higher risk of the same conditions among footballers, and has prompted calls for faster action by all contact sports to reduce the risks to players. our health correspondent dominic hughes has more. playing contact sport like rugby always comes with an element of risk. but, in recent years, there have been growing concerns over what effect repeated head impacts might have on the brain. now, a new study throws fresh light on the risks to the brain health of top—level rugby players. researchers looked at the medical records of more than 400 scottish rugby players who had represented their country. they compared them to 1,200 matched
8:13 am
members of the public. they found that rugby players faced more than twice the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as dementia, parkinson's or motor neurone disease. all sport has to question its relationship with head injuries and head impacts, and rugby is doing that. rugby is trying to figure out ways to improve the game, to reduce the risk of head injuries and head impacts. i think it's a slow pace of change and i think data like this, today, suggests that the pace of change should be quicker, as quick as possible — because there are currently young men, women who are participating in a sport where we're concerned about risk down the line. a study by the same glasgow university team led to concerns about the effects that repeatedly heading a ball might have on the brains of professional footballers. and as the evidence of a link between head impacts and illness grows, campaigners are calling for sport's ruling bodies to move faster. we need to change how we play
8:14 am
these games to minimise repetitive hits to the head. that means changing how we practise. that means fewer drills that involve head impacts. that means changing the rules when we identify rules that can be changed that would minimise the number of hits to the head. and that also means, at the pro level, we're no longer playing 11 months a year with your league years then your international tours. that's where we're learning from people like steve thompson that that's too many hits to the head and can destroy your mental wellbeing by your 40s. and nobody is going to step forward to keep playing this game once we realise how widespread this is. in a statement, world rugby said it welcomed the latest research and was engaged in a constant and open conversation about what changes to the game may be appropriate. but some will ask how a game like professional rugby that thrives on collisions between heavily built players can eliminate the risk of concussion and head impacts without changing the very nature of the game itself. dominic hughes, bbc news.

8:24 am
bad. but it is a brain injury. imagine that for schooling. it could really hurt it. you look at touch rugby and ways of keeping fit. people say oh, you have gone soft, it is ridiculous. we have not. it is coming out now. it has come down through to grass roots. they even have systems in touch rugby for defence, ratherthan have systems in touch rugby for defence, rather than kids running around and passing the ball and learning skills, it is about defensive line and breaking the line. it is little kids. junior coaches, i have so much respect. sunday morning, freezing cold, they look after other people's kids and give them a chance to run around and have fun. keep the kids fit but healthy. have fun. keep the kids fit but health . ~ ., .y , healthy. world rugby, rfu, say they care deel healthy. world rugby, rfu, say they care deeply about — healthy. world rugby, rfu, say they care deeply about players _ healthy. world rugby, rfu, say they care deeply about players and - healthy. world rugby, rfu, say they care deeply about players and never| care deeply about players and never stand still when it comes to welfare and our strategy is to prevent,

steve's story. you can watch the documentary. head on: rugby, dementia and me is on bbc two and iplayer at 9pm tonight. time to get the news, travel and weather where you are good morning from bbc london, i'm tolu adeoye. some rail services across the capital will be disrupted today because of strike action by train drivers in a long—running dispute over pay. these are the 12 affected companies who say they'll have little to no service today. the tube and the elizabeth line will continue to run as normal. a new transit scheme linking luton airport to the railway has been delayed again and won't be up and running until next year at the earliest. the direct air—rail transit system was due to open at the end of 2020 and replace the bus transfer service — but a new opening date won't be announced until early 2023. the owners of the airport say the delay is mostly down to revenue
8:28 am
and ticketing arrangements. plans to build 19—storey tower blocks and a new shopping centre in south east london have been withdrawn after thousands of local objections. the scheme at the walnuts in 0rpington would have provided nearly a thousand new homes, alongside a new town square and elderly day care centre. a spokesperson for the developer said it remained "fully committed to providing a vibrant and distinctive town centre". campaigners trying to save a decaying plane from the scrapheap say they're heartbroken after running out of time to raise the money to rescue it. the handley page dart herald hasn't flown since 199a and was one of only 50 built. it's been kept at gatwick airport but expansion plans mean there's now no room for it. it was iconic at its time, and... if we lose it, we've lost it forever. yes, there are three others but, as i say, they're just static examples at the moment, and we were hoping to get this one running. it's just another nail in the coffin
8:29 am
of aviation heritage, really. let's have a look at the tube board. all lines running well. but of course the rail strike is affecting lots of train services, including the 0verground, as i mentioned earlier. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello, there, good morning. well, it's a very mild start to the day across the capital with many of our temperatures in the mid—teens in celsius. still a noticeably brisk south—westerly wind blowing, as well, but lots of dry weather around throughout the morning. and then we're likely to see a short spell of possibly quite heavy rain for a time through the afternoon. it moves its way southwards and eastwards, so the rain won't last for very long. ahead of and on this weather front, there'll be some strong, gusty winds — perhaps gusting as high as a0 miles an hour. but behind the front, then, lots of dry weather, too, as we head towards the end of the day — maybe one or two showers following on behind, but generally dry, some brighter spells, temperatures will be lower, though — perhaps just 16 degrees celsius for western home counties. and in that cooler—feeling air overnight tonight, temperatures are likely to drop back
8:30 am
into single figures. it should stay mostly dry, so it's a chillier start to the day on thursday. on thursday, still a noticeable south—westerly wind blowing, but there will be a lot of sunshine around — maybe clouding over towards the end of the day. we mightjust see a few outbreaks of rain towards the end of the day on friday, but other than that, it is mostly dry. i'll be back in half an hour — plenty more on our social media, including on the campaign to save hundreds of london's gas lamps. have a good morning. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and sally nugent. it is 8:30am on wednesday morning. thank you forjoining us. children in need returns to our screens next month and that means some mammoth fundraising challenges are about to get underway. the rickshaw challenge is one of them — it's

at bbc.co.uk/pudsey. for six decades, nobody has done it better. today marks 60 years since the premiere of the very first bond film, dr no. of course, none of the 007 movies would be complete without their opening theme songs — and last night a special concert took place to celebrate them, with dame shirley bassey leaving fans both shaken and stirred. our entertainment correspondent colin paterson was there. # diamonds are forever, forever, forever... dame shirley bassey belting out bond — the 85—year—old the undoubted star attraction at a royal albert hall concert to celebrate 60 years of 007 themes. bond... james bond. he wouldn't take the coat. afterwards, backstage, dame shirley was everything you would hope for... i'm ready. and my diamonds are ready. ..refusing to do interviews
8:42 am
until she'd had a massive gold cape attached, and then gushing about the reception she'd received. standing ovation there, dame shirley. oh, how about that? and my musical director had to play it over four times instead of two because i could not start to sing because everybody was standing up and applauding and... and i... it was... it was so touching, it was fabulous. # goldfinger. # pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold... what role would you describe those bond songs playing in your life? great! goldfingerfirst — i mean, it went round the world, it made me world famous. how many have they done? 20...? 25. 25! and we're still waiting for anotherjames bond, yeah. wow. well, keep your fingers crossed! thank you.
8:43 am
# the man with the golden gun will get it done... lulu performed her theme to the man with the golden gun — although it turns out it's far from herfavourite bond song. i think mccartney's was fantastic. and i think there's just so many great ones that, you know, if you're greedy like me, you think, "oh, i wish i would have done that one." but at this old age of mine, i'm very honoured, and i'm sincerely very grateful for having had an opportunity to do it, you know? # the world is not enough. # but it is such a perfect place to start, my love... _ and garbage revisited their theme to 1999's the world is not enough, and found the experience rather cathartic. to survive this long and see a song of ours that was kind of panned - at the time to then be sort of absorbed into the public consciousness and given some praise and love i is extraordinarily rewarding.
8:44 am
what are you doing here? looking for shells? no, i'm just looking. the concert was organised to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the premiere of the first bond film, dr no. this way, 007. be careful, it's a trifle slippery. and planning's under way for the 26th — the start of the post—daniel craig era — and that's far from the only change. the next bond film will be the first where he's on his majesty's secret service. how will that be reflected? well, he's always... you know, his whole thing is service, service for — it was queen and country and now it's king and country. so it won't change. and how is the search going? it's not going just yet. why not?! we have a lot of work to do before we start looking for casting the role. i mean, we have to kind of, you know, reboot the whole series, we have to think about what the storyline is going to be, and the trajectory.
8:45 am
and so it's... we've got a lot of work to do. and, of course, there will be another bond song. colin paterson, bbc news. surely, isn't she amazing? can't beat a bit _ surely, isn't she amazing? can't beat a bit of _ surely, isn't she amazing? can't beat a bit of shirley _ surely, isn't she amazing? can't beat a bit of shirley at _ surely, isn't she amazing? can't beat a bit of shirley at 8:45am l surely, isn't she amazing? can�*t beat a bit of shirley at 8:45am on a wednesday morning. the sound of 007 concert will be shown on prime video later this month. and they haven't cast the role yet! can't believe they haven't started. we have the sport. b, can't believe they haven't started. we have the sport.— we have the sport. a big day of s-uortin we have the sport. a big day of sporting action. _ we have the sport. a big day of sporting action. last _ we have the sport. a big day of sporting action. last night - we have the sport. a big day of sporting action. last night was| we have the sport. a big day of. sporting action. last night was all about liverpool taking on rangers defence in the history so it was always going to be special at anfield but liverpool will be pleased to put their domestic troubles behind them with a 2—0 victory. morning. liverpool coming out on top on what was an historic night. for all their achievements, the first time they've faced each other. and what a way to get things going.
8:46 am
trent alexander—arnold with this stunning free—kick after a difficult few weeks for him, before mo salah sealed the points from the penalty spot, putting liverpool on course to qualify for the knock—out stages, rangers though remain bottom. they face each other again next week at ibrox. there were plenty of chances but no goals in tottenham's match at eintracht frankfurt. harry kane came close in the first half. spurs stay second behind sporting lisbon. frankfurt remain third with marseille bottom. there'll be another notable absentee from england's sell out friendly with world champions the usa on friday. england captain leah williamson will miss the match after picking up an injury in training. it'll be the first game at wembley since they won the euros final injuly, and the winning goal scorer that day is relishing the challenge. it will be a great night, great location, great atmosphere. and worcester rugby club could have their relegation from the premiership confirmed today.
8:47 am

103 millimetres is overfour amounts in the north—west highlands. 103 millimetres is over four inches in 48 hours and it has been raining again here this morning. a real deluge of rain. you can see how it has been moving across scotland, this band heading north and any other band pushing south west and eastward, so if you're out and about today there will be a lot of surface water and spray on the roads. what will happen is this band of rain will happen is this band of rain will steadily push down towards the south—east behind it we are looking at a mixture of sunny spells and showers, some of which will be heavy and thundering and they will be accompanied by gusty winds. the strongest winds with exposure around the coasts and hills but even inland we are looking at gusty winds with temperatures ranging from 11 in the north to 16 in the south. what is happening is as this when offence pushes away the temperature will slide behind it. tonight many of the showers in the south will fade, they will continue with life, still a windy night so no problems with frost lafargue and it will be a cooler night across england and
